Always looking 👀 for interesting tech content to be shared via my channel = innovations, continuous improvement best practices, smart start ups ideas

Born and raised in the former coal-mining heartland & cultural melting pot of Germany, the Ruhrgebiet. Intercultural exchange has always fascinated and inspired me. In my youth football career & during my 3 years’ residency in China. LinkedIn is a great platform to discuss and exchange technical and cultural topics with the world which is just one click away.

Happy to exchange ideas about #lean, #automation, #robotics, #safety and #ergonomics with you. Especially when they are related to manufacturing, assembly or logistics challenges 

Dream it, develop it, do it‼️Ridding the oceans of plastics, from vision to reality 

The Ocean Cleanup managed to catch in one extraction from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch: 11,353 kg of plastic!

System 03 is a cleaning system which removes plastic from the ocean, designed, deployed and operated by The Ocean Cleanup. 

The system consists of a floating barrier approximately 2.2 km (1.4 miles) long, which is towed between two slow-moving vessels. This barrier suspends a screen extending 4 meters (13 feet) below the surface of the water, where most floating plastic is encountered.

Additionally it will take lots of efforts combating the root causes…

How does System 03 remove plastic from the ocean?

What other projects has The Ocean Cleanup worked on?

What are some effective ways to combat plastic pollution?

Not a plastic bag = 100% natural, biodegradable and compostable bags‼️
 
Cassava is a root vegetable + organic 🌱 components to formulate the biodegradable film.

✅ 100% Non-Toxic

Cassava Bags do not harm the environment making them perfect for single-use design. There are no microplastics or toxins, and there is no plastic footprint left behind

✅ Zero Plastic Waste
- ﻿It takes 3-6 months to biodegrade in soil
- ﻿﻿It takes a few days to disolve in the ocean
- ﻿﻿It takes 3 minutes to disolve in hot water
- ﻿﻿No microplastics

✅ Strength & Durability
Designed to be use for multi purposes, Cassava Bags are strong and durable. weight load 25 kg + depending on thickness and size.

Fire extinquishing Ball 🔥⁉️Self-activaling handheld extinguishing device

Upon contacting the flame, the breaker activates and the dry chemical is dispersed, covering a fire area of 2-4m3 = equivalent to the standard 5 lb content extinguisher 🧯 

The outward circular force will assist in removing the oxygen from the fire area, and the dry chemical will extinguish the fire.

Simple to use and adds additional protection in that it will self-activate in the presence of fire without huma intervention.

Thoughts? Practical, toy,….?

👋 Bye bye conveyor line assembly at Mercedes-Benz AG⁉️ Combining assembly line with "TecLines" powered by mobile #robotics
 
In the "Factory 56", the traditional assembly line is replaced by driverless transport systems in selected production areas - the so-called "TecLines" - for example at the beginning of the trim line.
 
High-efficiency assembly for large-scale production and increases flexibility so that production can be adjusted without any great effort or interruptions to current operation.
 
By merely redefining the tracks for the driverless transport systems, it is possible to change from assembly operation to cycle operation, whereby the vehicle remains in position and is not continuously moved along the line. 

This makes sense for automated activities, among others, e.g. when installing the sliding glass roof. 
 
✅ Amazing flexibility on the assembly line! In both regards: assembly of different car models as also line structure due to AGVs
 
✅ A lot of traveling car sets! This reduces walking time for workers and boosts productivity
 
✅ 300+ AGVs in the entire factory according to #mercedes

What do you like and where do you see potential for improvements?

Transportation revolution to power sustainability ⁉️Innovative game changer wagon technology to overcome the barriers to achieving freight transportation. 

✅ Loading 40 conventional truck trailers in 90 minutes without crane & terminal.

✅ Placing 100 % of all truck trailers onto rail without the need for any loading terminals

✅ A freight train requires around 20% of the energy of an truck and causes only around 25% of its climate-damaging emissions.

✅ Simple and carbon-neutral future alternative for the future flow of goods

SMED meets trailer loading = purpose is to reduce the time it takes to complete changeovers in equipment machinery.

Foldable trailer = transformer style 🤩 ⁉️

✅ trailer can be folded when not carrying a load of timber

✅ process of folding and unfolding the trailer only takes a couple of minutes

✅ allows transportation companies to avoid paying road fees 

✅ providing drivers with more maneuverability

Drivers can enter a tight pickup location, easily maneuver and position the truck, and then unfold the trailer for timber to be loaded. 

What’s your take on this concept?
